After leaving the Valley of No End, Li Yun and Chen Xiu stopped atop another mountain peak.
They concealed their auras.
Li Yun looked deep in thought.
From time to time, he glanced back in the direction of the Valley of No End.
Knowing that Li Yun must have discovered something, Chen Xiu asked, "Brother Yun, what is it?"
"There's something wrong with this Immortal Slaying Hall!"
"Very wrong!"
"I took a brief look at the Immortal Slaying Hall's members just now and found that they seemed to have all been schemed against. They had the air of becoming someone else's Chives."
Chen Xiu said in surprise, "Brother Yun, could it be that those people from the nine Supreme Immortal Dynasties are coming out to harvest them again?"
"No!"
"It has nothing to do with them. It should be related to the four Profound Venerables of the Immortal Slaying Hall."
"Hm..."
"Brother Yun, now that you mention it, I also feel that something was off. Back in the Immortal Severing Hall, I felt that Immortal Venerable Zangye's gaze was strange. He seemed far too anxious, as though he wished we would join the Immortal Slaying Hall immediately."
"Tell me... they don't even know our backgrounds."
"Even for the sake of this so-called Immortal Slayer, there was no need to be so eager. Could it be that they truly don't care what our backgrounds are?"
"What if we had ulterior motives? Wouldn't recruiting us so casually be detrimental to the Immortal Slaying Hall?"
Li Yun immediately laughed upon hearing that.
"You see... that is precisely the biggest problem."
"No matter how little a faction cares for rules, it cannot possibly recruit someone without first learning their background. Yet they deliberately overlooked this."
"Heh, do you think they're fools?"
"Of course not.
